Additive manufacturing (3D/4D printing) facility to build a physical object, layer by layer, from a 3D computer model. Scion specialises in additive manufacturing using biomaterials including bio-derived or bio-sourced, biodegradable and compostable materials. Our facility can handle bio-feedstocks from liquids, gels, solids (e.g. polymers, powders), and create new prototypes using sustainable innovative materials. 4D printing is the capacity of a 3D printed object to change over time or to possess an added functionality, such as shape memory ability or conductivity.
